Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Guns 'N' Roses Front Man Axl Rose And The Skull
Watch By HYT: A Rock And Roll Meeting Of Rebels

Axl Rose has led something of an impulsive life, but thus far he seems to have stuck with more or less the same watch brands ? watch brands that are surprisingly low key (well, much more so than I would have expected given his famous temperament and fashion choices): Audemars Piguet and Breitling. The Breitling is perhaps less surprising as band mate Slash also tends to favor Breiling; I have spotted the virtuoso guitarist wearing several models by the Swiss brand on stage over the years. But now Rose comes out with something horological that he has the opportunity to make all his own: a collaboration with boutique watch brand HYT, which is famous for its groundbreaking use of liquid as the time-telling display.

At recent European dates with AC/DC ? the 54-year-old GnR front man has been filling in for Brian Johnson, who had to suddenly step down from the stage due to hearing issues ? Rose was spotted wearing the HYT Skull Maori model, which retails for $120,000. Check out this timepiece in The HYT Skull: Fad, Trend, Style, Or Movement? and HYT?s Skull Bad Boy: Fluid Time-Telling Evolves Thanks To Swiss Engineering. Now HYT announces Rose as a new ?friend of the brand.? The Skull Maori he is currently sporting is a loaner, which he will wear on stage (and hopefully elsewhere) until he receives his own limited edition HYT timepiece based on the Skull line, which CEO Vincent Perriard estimates as arriving in January 2017.

So they gifted Axl this $120,000 watch and will replace it with a signature Axl one??

looks like something from Hot Topic.

 That's a pretty bitchin watch. Idk about 120k for it though.

I was just going to say that I doubt Hot Topic has anything for $120,000.

Axl Rose new ? Friend of the Brand ?
A limited-edition watch will be created to celebrate this new friendship with the singer and founder of rock band Guns N' Roses.

HYT announces today a new partnership with Axl Rose, the iconic singer and founder of legendary rock band Guns N' Roses.

? Axl is a huge fan of watches in general but when he came across HYT he was really blown away! ? explains Vincent Perriard, HYT Co-founder & Board Member. ? Axl and HYT share the same unconventional attitude. I can feel this partnership is going to be very Rock?n?roll! ?.

Don't really get why you'd spend an amount you could donate for hospital equipment to save many, many women, men and children's lives on some piece of kitsch shit to dangle off your wrist tbh, but hey, it's another world to me. I guess I hope the watch makes him happy? The sponsorship deal should at least.

You could probably have everything in Hot Topic for $120,000 :hihi:

Sweet watch.
Anyone know what make of watch that red one as from the UYI tour?

Not sure about my own sanity when I'm reading a thread about what sort of watch axl wears. I perhaps need to have a think about how I spend my time!
